Nobel-winning Elders deplore Gaza flotilla attack

I am a concerned that the article did not mention that therewere other boats in that flotilla that did not fight the Israeli commandos,and in those boats, there were no casualties. The men on that one ship,armed with steel clubs, hammers, knives and other crude weapons,initiated hand-to-hand combat with the commandos, and so I'm concerned that thearticle did not mention that. Why omit that? Other questions arise,such as why was there an armed resistance on that one shipin the flotilla? Who, exactly, organized them? Who was the leaderof those men? Was it the captain of the ship, or a sailor, or was it apassenger? What organization plotted this violence?I'm certain that the editors of the THE HINDU are curious aboutthose same issues and more, and I would appreciate it if THE HINDUwould look into these questions and report to the public.
